Water Line Replacement Edmonton

Water lines used to include lead and galvanized steel, but these are not used anymore. Most modern homes use copper, PVC, and PEX pipes, which are less susceptible to wear and tear and safer for drinking water. Although, Edmonton homeowners should rest assured that a water line replacement is usually a once-in-a-lifetime investment, with most materials, such as copper and PEX pipes lasting for 50 years, and PVC can last up to a century due to its material being less vulnerable to discolouration, rust and corrosion. Generally in Edmonton, new homes are being built with PEX water lines due to ease of installation.

During your in-person consultation, your plumber can make recommendations on which materials are most suitable for your water line replacement. Edmonton locals can get peace of mind in knowing that we will recommend the best possible materials.

Prior to the water line replacement, we need to determine two factors: the square footage of your home and the amount of damage. If you have a smaller house, a replacement can be done in as little as two days, but a week or so for larger homes. We will also take into consideration if only siloed areas of the pipe need replacement or the entire pipe network. Also, note that repiping doesn’t mean you won’t have access to your plumbing at all, but there will be no incoming water supply when the plumbers are replacing the old system with the new one.

In some severe cases, we will need to do a water line replacement. Edmonton plumbers do their best to repair damaged water lines without having to install a new one; however, sometimes, there are circumstances beyond our control that require an excavation.

Absolutely! If you’re in the middle of a new build or plan to add water lines to an existing building, we can help. However, the planning and preparation process may take longer due to permit applications and contacting the utility providers (i.e., water services) regarding the whereabouts of existing underground services.

While that is in effect, our team will plan the route of the new water system and gather all the materials needed for your water line installation. Edmonton plumbers also need to cut and shape your new pipes accordingly and prepare the fittings and connections. Another crucial factor is determining the location of the frost line and how deep the trench must be. Feel free to contact us for details on water line installation for Edmonton homes.

Surprisingly, in this case, you are the homeowner. Many property owners are unaware that water supply lines and lateral or wastewater lines are their responsibility to follow up with a plumber for repairs, including water line replacement. Although it’s yet another out-of-pocket expense, it saves you from costlier and more tedious repairs like pipeline clogs, leaks, and breaks later on. As a backup, it’s good to review your homeowner's insurance policy to see if it includes coverage for waterline breaks.

The age of your water lines plays a factor, and you will want to replace your water lines when you notice frequent leaks, low water pressure, and an increase in your water bill. There is a good chance you will need a water line replacement. Edmonton and the surrounding areas offer the best possible water line services.

While we always try our best to keep costs as low as possible for our customers, some replacements may cost more than others, especially if we find more extensive damage that requires more time and attention. The complexity of the replacement and installation will entirely depend on the condition of your water line, how we need to execute the service and any materials required to make it happen.

Commonly, we find that a water line replacement will cost between $5,000 and $18,000. Don't let these numbers scare you; Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton values upfront and honest pricing.
